Abstract: Empirical analyses around the relationship between extreme weather events and migration typically face the choice between an in-depth focus on a specific setting with micro data, and a focus on a large set of countries and time periods. The former produce evidence that can be of limited external validity, while the latter is limited to data that are very coarse (across both time and space). We use individual-level data on migration intentions from various waves of the Gallup World Polls, for which we have precise information on the place and date of the interview, to combine the advantages of these two approaches.
